DATA RETENTION POLICY WITH SCHEDULE
of
Stephen Morrissey T/A RallyeSlot
Introduction
As part of event prize eligibility, we collect and process personal data from a contact card provided to the customer. This personal information is collated in and is stored as a hard copy.
Aims of the policy
Our business will ensure that the personal data that we hold is kept secure and that it is held for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is being processed. In addition, we will retain the minimum amount of information to fulfil our statutory obligations and the provision of goods or/and services – as required by data protection legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Retention
This retention policy (along with its schedule), is a tool used to assist us in making decisions on whether a particular document should be retained or disposed of. In addition, it takes account of the context within which the personal data is being processed and our business practices.
Decisions around retention and disposal are to be taken in accordance with this policy.
As and when the retention period for a specific document has expired, a review is always to be carried out prior to the disposal of the document. This does not have to be time-consuming or complex. If a decision is reached to dispose of a document, careful consideration is to be given to the method of disposal.
Responsibility
Stephen Morrissey T/A RallyeSlot is responsible for keeping this retention schedule up to date in order to reflect changing business needs, new legislation, changing perceptions of risk management and new priorities for our business.
Stephen Morrissey T/A RallyeSlot is responsible for determining (in accordance with this Policy) whether to retain or dispose of specific documents.
Disposal
Our business must ensure that personal data is securely disposed of when it is no longer needed. This will reduce the risk that it will become inaccurate, out of date or irrelevant.
The methods of disposal are to be appropriate to the nature and sensitivity of the documents concerned and include:
Non-Confidential records: place in waste paper bin for disposal
Confidential records: shred documents
The table below contains the retention period that we have assigned to each type of record. This will be adhered to wherever possible, although it is recognised that there may be exceptional circumstances which require documents to be kept for either shorter or longer periods.
